I would like to wean her off of it so I am starting to use slightly smaller pieces and then maybe one per day rather than 2. The vet approved this. My issue is that I want to hear if shes coughing. I work several hours a day and I will not be able to hear her cough then. I am assuming that I would be hearing her at night if it returns. Reading these heartwrenching stories is making my BP go up. She is such a dear. I want her to not suffer at all. The thought that this is chronic progressive just makes me weep.
Thanks for reading

Why would you want to take her off of it?
